hot hot hot and what I'm up to

The white hot temps of a NYC summer are suddenly and unexpectedly upon us. Usually it's not in the 90s till July and August--never in early June. It's been 99 yesterday and 97 today. Tomorrow it might cool down to 88--whoopie!

I've finished the Nebula Award Showcase Anthology and am relieved and delighted. (well, I'm awaiting one returned contract and a couple of paragraphs from Mike Moorcock about his reprinted story. Then I can hand it in to Ginjer when she's back in the office next week. Extra whoopie!!!

Luckily discovered some problems in the copy edit of Troll's Eye View that are fixable (story order screwed up when I handed the wrong TOCs in)...and am now awaiting several contributor responses to CE queries.

Time to read the stories for the physical incarnation of the Codex online writer's workshop I'm teaching at in a few weeks down in Chattanooga. And read mss and YBFH stuff.

More later.

Georgia has been the same way this week.

I've been seeing mirages on my walk through the parking lot! :)

I've been trying to not go out as much as possible. It's 2:15 pm and I'm in for the day, with air conditioning, cats, water, and iced tea.
